Connect Cisco Meraki

Step-by-step guide to connecting Cisco Meraki to Thalian for network intelligence.

Prerequisites

  • Meraki Dashboard account with API access enabled
  • Organization admin or read-only admin role

Enable API Access and Create a Key

  1. Sign in to the Meraki Dashboard
  2. Go to Organization → Settings
  3. Under Dashboard API access, enable the API if not already enabled
  4. Navigate to your profile (click your name in the top-right)
  5. Under API access, click Generate new API key
  6. Copy the API key — it is shown only once

The Meraki API key inherits the permissions of the dashboard account. Thalian only needs read access. A read-only admin role at the organization level is sufficient and recommended to limit the key's access.

Connect in Thalian

  1. Go to Integrations → Browse
  2. Find Cisco Meraki and click Connect
  3. Paste your API key
  4. Click Save — Thalian validates the key and discovers your organizations and networks
